Friends, family and supporters of Regenia Wilkerson Jasper came to City Hall last Wednesday afternoon to see Mayor Lyn Bailey swear her in to the Cadiz City Council.

Jasper ran against incumbent Councilmember Donna McNichols in the recent election. McNichols had been appointed to fill the seat after she had to leave the council because of a ruling by Circuit Judge Dennis Foust that declared her Wyandot Village home outside the city limits. McNichols began renting an apartment in town, which allowed the city council to appoint her to the vacated seat.
